1 Ukorintiyawa 7
1 Nene ubellen nimon ulenge na iwa nyertu udak kiti nig: abu duku na caun na nnit, na awa nno nin nwani me ba.
BUT concerning those (questions) of which you wrote to me, It is well for a man unto a woman not to come nigh;
2 Vat nani barra idumuzunu nadu nzina, ko uyeme unit yita nin nwani litime, ko uyeme uwani yita nin nles litimee.
but, because of fornication, let a man take his wife, and let a woman take her husband.
3 Ame ules ba ni uwani me ule imon na ikifo anighe uwani tutun udu kiti nles me.
And let a man render the love that is due unto his wife;
4 Na uwani dinin likara kitine kidowo me ba, ulesse re, nanere ulese dinin likara kitene kidowo me ba, ame uwane re.
so also the wife to her husband. For the wife hath not authority over her body, but the husband; so also the man hath not authority over his body, but his wife.
5 Na iwa nazuzu atimine ni linonin kiti kirumba mine se nin yinnu mine nin kubi ko na anun nfere, bara inann nå atimine kiti nliran, ikuru, ida munun tutuun, bara shetan wa dumun muna nin salin nkifu natimine.
Defraud not then one the other, unless you both agree for a time, that you may humble yourselves by fasting and by prayer; and return again unto the same will, that Satana may not tempt you on account of the desire of your bodies.
6 Meng bellu munu ule imone uyinuari na ita munu kuwa ri ba.
But this I speak as to the infirm; (and) not from commandment.
7 Usu nighere nworo kogha wa nafo na meng di bara kogha dinin ume udadiuwe kiti Kutellẹ. Umon uleli, umon ulele.
For I would that all men were as I am, in chastity. But every man hath the gift given to him from Aloha, this one thus, and the other thus.
8 Kiti nale na isa su ilugma ba, nin nawani allenge na ales mine na kuzu, meng belle ucaun kitimine iso sa ilugma nafo meng.
But I say to those who have no wives, and to the widows, that it is expedient for them to remain as I do.
9 Andi na iwasa nani isu llugma nin nworo ijuju zu ninlip.
Yet, if they persevere not, they should marry; for it is better to take a wife than to burn with concupiscence.
10 Nene udu kiti na nan nilugma, meng na munu uduka-na miari ba ame Cikilar: “Na uwani nwa molu ilugma nin nles ma na.”
But those who have wives I command, yet not I, but my Lord, that the wife from her husband separate not.
11 Bara asa molo nin nlese, na aso sa ilugma, andi na nani ba, kpilla kiti nlese, “Na ules nwa ko uwani me ba.”
Yet, if she separate, let her remain without a man, or unto her husband be reconciled. And let not a man put away his wife.
12 Nin nani kagisine nbelle (miari na Ciikilari ari ba) nworo asa nkan gwana dinin nwani una nsalin nyinnu sa uyenu amini din lanzu nmang lisosine ninghe, na awa koghe ba.
But to the rest I say, not my Lord, If a brother hath a wife who is not a believer, and she be willing to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 Nanere asa uwani dinin nles una nsali nyinnu, sa uyenu amini din lanzu nmang lisosin ninghe, yenje awa molu ilugma.
And any woman who has an husband unbelieving, and he willeth to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.
14 Bara ules una nsalin nyinnu abaa se useru bara uwane unan yinnu sa uyenu nanere wang uwani bara ules me unan yinnu, an na nanii ba nono mine wadi anan dinon kidegen iba seru nani.
For the man who believeth not is sanctified by the wife who believeth; and any wife who believeth not is sanctified by the husband who believeth; otherwise their children would be unclean; but now are they clean.
15 Asa unan durtu Kutellẹ sosin ligowe nin nan salin dortu Kutellẹ, nworo na iba so ligowe ba, na iwutun, nan nya imus nilele gwana kilime sa kishono alkawali ntereghe ba, Kutellẹ na yyicila nari tiso top.
But if he who believeth not separate, let him separate; a brother or a sister is not in servitude to these: unto peace Aloha hath called us.
16 Bara iziyari fe ba yinnu, uwani, sa fere ba utucun nles fe? ulles uyir, sa fere ba utucun nwanife?
For how knowest thou, wife, whether thou mayest save thy husband? Or knowest thou, man, if thy wife thou mayest save?
17 Cas na kogha su lisosin lo na Cikilari na kosu nani mun, ulenge na Kutellẹ na yicila nnani mun, ulelere uduka nighe nanya natie nlira vat.
But (according as) the Lord hath distributed to every one, as Aloha hath called, so let him walk; and thus in all the churches, so I direct.
18 I wa yicila umon nin kalu kucuru nanya iyinnu sa uyena? Na awa kala kullap kucure ba kubi ko na iwa yicila umon sa udiru nkalu kucuru nan nya yinnu sa uyena? Iwa awa kala ghe kucure ba.
If a man circumcised hath been called, let him not turn to uncircumcision; and if in uncircumcision he hath been called, let him not be circumcised.
19 Na ukallu sa usalin kallu kucuru unere imomon ba, ule imon na idi suwe inere udortu nduka Kutellẹ.
For circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but the observances of the commandments of Aloha.
20 Na ko gha so nan nya nyicilu me na Kutellẹ wa yicila ghe ada yinin.
Let every man in the calling in which he hath been called remain.
21 Uwa di kucina kubi ko na Kutellẹ wa yicila fia? Na uwa dama kitene ba, bara unan uso töp su nanni.
If a servant thou wast called, be not careful, but, if also thou canst be made free, choose that thou shouldest serve.
22 Bara ulle na Cikilari na yicilaghe nafo kucin, Cikilari na bunku ghe, nanere ulle na ina bunku ghe kubi na iwa yicilaghe ayinin a uyinu ame kucin Kristi.
For he who a servant is called in the Lord, is the freeman of Aloha, so he who as a son of freedom is called, is a servant of the Meshiha.
23 Iwa seru munu nin tamani, na iwa lawa acin nannit ba.
With a price are you bought; you will not be servants of men.
24 Nuwana nilime nan nishono, ko iyaghari na nan nya ko lome iwa di nanye, iwa yicila nari tiyinin na ti so nani.
Every one in that in which he was called, my brethren, in it let him remain unto Aloha.
25 Nene kiti na allenge na isa su ilugma ba, na ndinin nduka unuzu nCikilari ba, Meng nna ukpilizu nigh nafo umon ulle na, Cikilari na Lanza nkunekune nigh, amini na yinin nin mie.
BUT respecting virginity, a commandment from Aloha I have not received; but I give counsel as a man who hath had grace from Aloha to be faithful.
26 Bara nani, Meng di nkpizilu bara uniu nbun ucaun unit so inda na adi.
And I consider that this is good, on account of the necessity of the time, that it is expedient for a man so to be.
27 Uterin kiti nwani bara islin nilugma? Na uwa piziru ubunke, kiti ni nin ba. Yenje una bunku ilugma inani sosin sa ilugma? Na uwa piziru uwani ba.
Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 Uwa usu ulugma, na usu kulapi ba, asa uwani nsali nilugma, nsu ilugma, na ata kulapi ba, vat alle na isu ilugma iba yitu nin fizu nayi gbardang. Ndinin su nkosu munu nanghinu.
Yet, if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not; and if a virgin shall be to a husband, she sinneth not. Yet affliction in the body will be to them who are such; but I am sparing over you.
29 Bara nanii meng belle, nwana nilime nan nishomo, (Kubi Karin ba. Uyiru nene udu nbun alle na idinin nawani na iso nafo na idumun ba.
And this I say, my brethren, that the time now becomes contracted; and they who have wives should be as not having them;
30 Allenge na idi kuculu ba.) Anan liburi libo, na isu nafo na idi nin liburi libo ba, allenge na isere ko iyang, so nafo na anan nimon nacara ba.
and they who weep, as not weeping; and they who rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they who buy, as not possessing;
31 Allenghe na idi lanzu mang nye, na iso nafo nna allenge na idi lanzu nmang ba, bara ucin nye ba dak ligan.
and they who use this world should not exceed the just use; for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32 Meng dinin su ishutu nan nya nsali noku kibinai, gankilime una nsali nilugma, din cizu kibinai me kiti nCikilari a póghe ayi.
Wherefore I would that you be without anxiety; for he who hath not a wife thinketh of the things of his Lord, that so he may please his Lord;
33 Unit anan nilugma din cisu nibinai kiti nimon nnyi aba tiyiziya apo awani mi kibinai.
and he who hath a wife is anxious for the world, that so he may please his wife.
34 Ame nkoso, nanere tutun unit unan sali nilugma, sa kuburu ita nibinai nimon nCikilari, inda na iba so lau nan nya nidowo nan nruhu, ame uwani nilugma din ti kibinai nimon nnyi, ules lanza nmang me.
But there is a distinction between the wife and the virgin. She who hath no man is thoughtful of the things of her Lord, that she may be holy in her body and in her spirit; and she who hath a husband is thoughtful of the world, that so she may please her husband.
35 Nna bellin munu ilele bara atiminere, a na ntimunu libarda ba, bara imon icine, inan nna atimine kiti Ncikilari sa ukosu kibinai.
But this for your own profit speak I; not to throw a snare over you, but that you may be constant towards your Lord in a comely manner, while not thoughtful of the world.
36 Asa umon din kpilizu na adi su gegeme kiti nle na ibasu ilugma ba, a ame kubure nyenju akus me din nkatuzu, bara ntok nayi me dinin likara na isu ilugma, na kulapi ari ba.
But if a man consider it to be dishonourable toward his virgin, who hath passed her time, that he hath not given her to the man, (and) that it is proper that he should give her; as he willeth let him act, he sinneth not: let them marry.
37 Awa yiru kibinai me na abasu ilugma ba, na ubellen doli duku ba, aasa akifo ntok litime abasu gegeme, an di na asu ilugma ghe ba.
But he who hath firmly decided in his own mind, and nothing constraineth him, and (who hath) power in his will, and thus judgeth in his heart, that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
38 Ulenge na asu lugma nin kubura me asu gegeme, ame ulle na afere na aba su Uugma ba, nani katin.
And he then who giveth his virgin doeth well, and he who giveth not his virgin doeth better.
39 Uwani terin kiti nles me vat nayiri lisosin mine, asa ulese nku, ibunku ghe, asu imon ilugma, ulle na kibinai me inyinna isu ilugma, vat nin nani nanya nCikilari cas.
The wife, so long as her husband liveth, is bound by the law; but if her husband shall die, she is free, that she may do what she willeth, only in our Lord.
40 Nanya nnag ushara aba se liburi libo, awa so nafo na lisosin me adi, Meng din kpilizu ndinin Ruhu ulau Kutellẹ.
But it is good if thus she remain, according to my own mind. But I think also that the Spirit of Aloha is in me.
